Whom do you prefer, Hilary R. or Hillary C.?

"She looked like she had just been thrown out of the crummiest freight train in the world."--Tom Neal, "Detour" (1945)

Now that the dust has settled following Democratic mouthpiece Hilary Rosen's unseemly trashing of Ann Romney, the vastly overused media term "breaking news" is actually relevant. Why? Because who would have thought a political operative of either major party would say something so shocking and insulting.

In case you have forgotten, here is what the outspoken Rosen--an openly gay supporter of Barack Hussein Obama who has visited the White House some 35 times--said in an appearance on April 11 on CNN:

"Guess what? His [Mitt Romney's] wife has never actually worked a day in her life. She's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids? How do we send them to school? And why we worry about their future."

Whoa! Can you believe it? Talk about putting your foot in your mouth. To take a shot like that at a brave woman who has raised five sons, has 15 grandchildren and is a cancer and multiple sclerosis survivor is simply mind-boggling. Rosen's words were the height of insensitivity and vicious wrongheadedness.

"But what she meant to say, I think, was that Ann Romney has never gotten her ass out of the house to work." Yes, you read that right. This man is not funny, he's pathetic.

Moreover, the pug-ugly Maher gave Obama's Super PAC $1,000,000--yes, a cool million--which the president accepted. In light of Maher's down-and-dirty, nationally televised screed and Obama's highly touted call for civility, the president should return the contribution. But he has not. What's up with that?

Predictably as well, readers have flooded daily newspapers across the country with righteous, anti-Rosen letters. Here are just a few:

"Hilary Rosen's remark about Ann Romney having 'never worked a day in her life' is not only offensive on its face, but it exposes the ignorance of Rosen and the liberal feminist mentality.

"Being one of five children, all raised by our stay-at-home mom, I can assure you that it wasn't a walk in the park for her. Even though our dad worked like a dog, it was peanuts compared to what our mom did every day."

As for Hillary Clinton--always referred to simply as Hillary--one certainty is that she still wants to be president, and there's no doubt she will try again in 2016. However, it's also possible that Obama may name her to replace bumbling Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate in this year's election.

Clinton's unrequited love for the top job is well-known, so if this happens--and it's a move I believe the president should make--it will be suspicions confirmed. If Obama is re-elected, she'd have a leg up in 2016, no matter who the Republican candidate is.
